Reminder: Banjo-Tooie now available on Xbox Live

0

Don’t forget that Banjo-Tooie is now on Xbox Live! Yup, I bought it this morning, and it immediately took me back to Happier Days, a youth defined by watching WWF (at the time) and playing N64 and PlayStation all weekend long.

Having played for just shy of an hour, I’d say that Rare has done a fine job in bringing bear and bird to the 360. It has the same hi-res polish as Banjo-Kazooie, but, more importantly, the framerate has been cleaned up. No more stutter and slowdown (at least so far—knock on something).

I’ll be giving the game a go in the evenings this week, that’s for sure. Besides, I’ve grown tired of little kids destroying me in Street Fighter IV. Dumb kids, ruining my good time.
